Berger SM Surface Mount Snow Guards are manufactured of cast aluminum and are designed to be adhered to the pan surface of prefinished metal roofs using either a high strength construction adhesive or a combination of mechanical fasteners and an adhesive/sealant. The SM Snow Guard is uniquely suited for use on trapezoidal type panels when coupled with the matching RT-300 Snow Guard. They are particularly effective in retaining snow and ice on metal roofs where there are no suitable seams to which a seam mounted device can be fastened, including batten and lap seam panels, and other profiles having a flat surface of as little as 2-3/8" in width and space for a 5" blade.
